Washington (CNN) – President Barack Obama presented the Air Force Academy football team with the Commander-in-Chief Trophy in the Rose Garden Monday. The last time the Air Force Academy beat the Army and Navy in the three-way season series was in 2002.

"Until this year, no one on this team knew what it felt like to beat Army, to beat Navy, to visit the White House, and to earn football bragging rights over the other branches," Obama said. "Now you know the feeling."
